About Elina:

Elina Pereira is a New Jersey native who ventured out to Louisville to follow her passions in field hockey and in business. She is a recent graduate of the University of Louisville where she earned her Bachelors Degree in Business Marketing while also earning minors in both International Business and Entrepreneurship. While juggling school, she played four years on University Of Louisville’s Varsity Field Hockey team in the position of a goalkeeper. While playing, her team earned a spot in the NCAA’s Sweet Sixteen three consecutive years in a row.

When she’s not at work or playing the occasional pick-up game of field hockey, you can find her reading books on her back porch, going for bike rides around Louisville, coaching the local club field hockey team, or in her kitchen baking some fresh treats for her friends and family. She hopes to one day own her own business, whether it be a bakery or a different passion she wants to follow.

About Riley:

Riley graduated from DuPont Manual High School, now attends the Darla Moore School of Business at the University of South Carolina and interns at Guardian Owl Digital Boutique during the summer.

In his free time, you’re likely to find Riley, a classic extrovert and terrified of loneliness, surrounded by peers. He also enjoys playing soccer and fancies himself quite the decent player. Riley is passionate about his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky and everything in it, especially the Cardinal Basketball team. If you see him around town, say hi! His favorite thing is meeting new people and you might even enjoy talking to him!
